Tao Heung Foods of Mankind Museum, Food museum in Fo Tan district, Hong Kong

The Tao Heung Foods of Mankind Museum occupies about 5,000 square feet on the first floor of 13 Au Pui Wan Street in Fo Tan. Its five zones are rice, spoons and chopsticks, spices, nature and world curiosities. A dragon-and-phoenix wood carving from the former Kwok Bun Restaurant in Yau Ma Tei, carved from whole timber in the 1970s, hangs inside.

The museum opened as the Foods of Mankind Museum at 1 Lok Tin Street in Fanling in July 2002, run by Law Kam-shing and partners and open only on Sundays and holidays. It closed in September 2005 for lack of funds; Tao Heung Group took it over and reopened it on 15 October 2005 as the Tao Heung Foods of Mankind Museum. In July 2008 it moved to its present Fo Tan address.

The museum's name, 稻鄉, echoes its operator Tao Heung Group, which took over the collection in October 2005. A Hong Kong-style teahouse section recreates an old restaurant interior, and dragon-and-phoenix wood carvings from the former Kwok Bun Restaurant in Yau Ma Tei, carved from whole logs in the 1970s, hang inside. Displays also cover Chinese and Western wedding banquets and a re-creation of the 1977 Manchu Han Imperial Feast.

The museum opens only on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, in four slots: 9:30–10:45, 11:00–12:15, 14:30–15:45 and 16:00–17:15. Visits must be booked in advance by phone or online, and entry is allowed only after a booking confirmation for the chosen slot. The Fo Tan site occupies about 5,000 square feet on the first floor at 13 Au Pui Wan Street.

The museum holds a dragon-and-phoenix woodcarving from the former Kwok Bun Restaurant in Yau Ma Tei, carved from a single piece of wood in the 1970s. It hangs in the Fo Tan premises, a remnant of old Hong Kong teahouse decor that visitors often walk past without noticing.
